| All of a sudden, I can't get in to the google website by typing google.com in my address bar. I'm running Windows XP, Firefox 3. It was working fine until a few days ago. I am also having a problem getting in to google using IE 7, which I tried out of desperation. I normally don't use IE at all. Thru Yahoo search, I cam across a forum posting that suggested I try to get to google by typing http://72.14.207.99/ which worked. They said it was probably a DNS error. Great. Now what???? If I have a DNS problem, how do I fix it?? I tried doing a system restore, but it won't let me go back more than a few days. (That's another problem I'm having but I'll save it for another day! LOL!)
Any suggestions as to what I have to do? I don't know whether this is something I can do or if I have to call my ISP (Cox Cable) and have them fix it. One posting suggested I re-boot my router. I'm okay with computers, but if it involves messing with my registery....forget it!
Thanks for any help you can give me! |

| I downloaded & ran the WinSock XP Fix. Still can't get in to google. I've tried running Firefox in Safe Mode. Still no go. I have eliminated all my FF3 add-ons & a bunch of the extensions but still no go. Looks like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet & call Tech Support at Cox Cable. Grrrr!
Thanks for the help! I'll alert you when and if I get it fixed!

| Download Trend Micro HijackThis 2.0.2 to your desktop:
Double click on HJTInstall.exe,it will prompt you to extract hijackthis.exe to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
When the install is complete,HijackThis will automatically launch.
When the license agreement appears,select "I Accept" and then click on the "Do a system scan only" button.
When the scan is complete,click on the "Save Log" button,then save it to your desktop.
Copy and paste the entire contents of that log into a new topic in the HijackThis Logs forum, not here.
